tC_OM_OM21057U_(U)
■Notes for the unlocking function
●Gripping the side door handle when wearing a glove may not unlock or
lock the door.
● A sudden approach to the effective range or door handle operation may
prevent the doors from being unlocked. In this case, return the door han-
dle to the original position and check that the doors have unlocked before
pulling the door handle.
● If there is another electronic key in the detection area, it may take slightly
longer to unlock the doors after one of the side door handles are gripped.
■ When the vehicle is not driven for extended periods
●To prevent theft of the vehicle, do not leave the electronic key within 6 ft.
(2 m) of the vehicle.
● The smart key system can be deactivated in advance. Contact your
Scion dealer for details.
■ To operate the system properly
Make sure to carry the electronic key when operating the system. Do not get
the electronic key too close to the vehicle when operating the system from
the outside of the vehicle.
Depending on the position and holding condition of the electronic key, the
key may not be detected correctly and the system may not operate properly.
(The alarm may go off accidentally, or the door lock prevention may not
operate.)
■ If the smart key system does not operate properly
● Locking and unlocking the doors: Use the mechanical key. ( P. 413)
● Starting the engine: P. 414
